The BR510N features Carvin's new BX500 bass amp, in a tiltable combo enclosure loaded with dual 10" Neodymium drivers and titanium tweeter.

The BX500 is a sleek head with easy to read instrument knobs offering an array of features – 3 EQ sections, high power and an ultralight 5.5 lbs chassis. It delivers 300w at 8 ohms, 500w at 4 ohms, plus it can be used at 2 ohms. The CLASS D power output section runs extremely cool and doesn’t take much power from the wall. The 12AX7 preamp valve gives the warmth that bassists are looking for. Two switches sit next to the input jack: a conveniently located Mute switch, and an Active/Passive switch to tailor the input to basses with different pickup configurations. The BX500 has your standard Drive knob by the Input jack and Master Volume adjacent to the power switch. A single knob controls the optical compressor with an auto limiter, and a red LED show you when the compressor is in operation. The convenient front panel Direct Level sends the preamp signal to the mixer.

The nine-band graphic EQ is footswitch-able, as well as via a switch on the front plate. But in addition to this EQ, the BX500 also has a four-band, two sweep tone control section that offers parametric frequency changes to the low mids and high mids, resulting in an almost unlimited number of options for dialing in your perfect sound. These features give the BX500 a truly versatile voice, but your tone shaping doesn’t end there. There is a Contour knob that further refines your sound from Scooped to Flat. Two combination Speakon™ - 1/4" outputs, 2 ohm operation switch, footswitch, Direct Out balanced XLR, tuner/phones output, effects loop and valve bypass switch cover the rear panel.

Beneath the sharply-dressed exterior, the BX500 has unsurpassed versatility, great tone, and useful features to help you get any sound you want.
